Holiday donations to area food bank

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and soon the holiday season will be in full swing. The area food bank is busier around the holidays each year.

Following is a list of ideas for those who would like to graciously donate at this time, but are unsure of what is needed: hams, sugar or flower in five pound bags or smaller, sweetened condensed and evaporated milk, butter or margarine, canned pumpkin, canned pineapple, yams, pies, bread, rolls, relishes, pickles, olives, hot cocoa mix, coffee, tea.

Some non-perishable items that are always needed include toilet paper, paper towels, toothpaste, and shampoo. Any items donated to the food bank are greatly appreciated.

Upcoming scheduled days at the food bank are November 21 and December, 19.
